Computation steps for 3D graphic processing consist of two stages - fixed operation stage and programming required stage. Using this characteristic of 3D pipeline, a hybrid structure between graphics hardware designed by fixed structure and programmable hardware based on instructions, can handle graphic processing more efficiently. In this paper, fragment Shader is designed under this hybrid structure. It also supports OpenGL ES 2.0. Interior interface is optimized to reduce the delay of entire pipeline, which may be occurred by data I/O between the fixed hardware and the Shader. Interior register group of the Shader is designed by an interleaved structure to improve the register space and processing speed.

본 논문에서는 J2ME상에서 JSR-184를 이용한 모바일 3D 엔진을 설계 및 구현하였다. 기존에는 모바일 표준 3D 그래픽 API(C언어 기반)인 OpenGL-ES를 사용하여 모바일 3D 엔진을 제작해, 핸드폰에 애플리케이션을 작동시켰으나, 저수준(Low-Level)의 다양한 기능만 제공함으로써, 다양한 콘텐츠제작 및 호환성에 제약이 많았다. 이에 OpenGL-ES보다 더욱더 다양한 고수준(High-Level)의 API를 제공하면서도 GSM 폰을 중심으로 J2ME상에서 자바환경에 최적화된 모바일표준 3D 표준 API(Java언어 기반)인 JSR-184로 모바일 3D 엔진을 제작하고, 스킨드 메시(Skinned Mesh) 형태를 가지는 모델의 처리속도를 향상시키는 방법을 제시한다.

Based on current practical needs for geo-spatial information on mobile platform, the main theme of this study is a design and implementation of dynamic 3D terrain rendering system using spaceborne imagery, as a kind of texture image for photo-realistic 3D scene generation on mobile environment. Image processing and 3D graphic techniques and algorithms, such as TIN-based vertex generation with regular spacing elevation data for generating 3D terrain surface, image tiling and image-vertex texturing in order to resolve limited resource of mobile devices, were applied and implemented by using graphic pipeline of OpenGL|ES (Embedded System) API. Through this implementation and its tested results with actual data sets of DEM and satellite imagery, we demonstrated the realizable possibility and adaptation of complex typed and large sized 3D geo-spatial information in mobile devices. This prototype system can be used to mobile 3D applications with DEM and satellite imagery in near future.

모바일 환경에서 고급 그래픽스 기술을 적용하고자 하는 시도로 최근 3D 그래픽 엔진을 탑재한 단말기가 출시되고 있다. 이 단말기는 OpenGL ES 1.x 을 기준으로 고정된 파이프라인을 통해 그래픽 연산을 처리하고 있으므로 사용자가 다양한 그래픽 표현을 수행하는데 제약이 따른다. 최근 PC 환경의 그래픽 엔진에서는 고정 기능의 파이프라인이 아닌 프로그래밍 가능한 파이프라인을 제공하여 기존 고정 파이프라인에서 불가능했던 유연한 그래픽스 기술을 제공하고 있다. PC환경의 프로그래밍 가능한 파이프라인은 DirectX 와 OpenGL ARB Extension 그래픽 라이브러리에 의해 제공되고 있지만, 모바일 환경에서는 이를 지원하기 위한 관련 제품이 아직 출시되지 않고 있는 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 OpenGL ARB Extension 1.0 을 근거로 정점 프로세싱 과정을 프로그래밍 가능한 파이프라인 구조로 동작하도록 하는 모바일용 정점 프로그램 가상머신을 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose a novel architecture of a general graphics shader processor without a dedicated hardware. Recently, mobile devices require the high performance graphics processor as well as the small size, low power. The proposed shader processor is a GP-GPU(General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) to execute the whole OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics pipeline by using shader instructions. It does not require the separate dedicate H/W such as rasterization on this fully programmable capability. The fully programmable 3D graphics shader processor can reduce much of the graphics hardware. The chip size of the designed shader processor is reduced 60% less than the sizes of previous processors.

Raster operations are widely used to display full-color graphics images (or pixmaps) and single-color images (or bitmaps). These features are strongly needed for image processing applications and font output. However, current mobile graphics platforms, including OpenGL ES hardware implementations, do not directly support these features. To fully support those raster operations on the mobile graphics platforms, we interpreted the graphics images as a set of 3D points, and processed those 3D points through the typical 3D geometry pipelines, in a full-software implementation. Our implementation shows sufficient execution speeds, and passed the official conformance tests to show its correctness.

In these days, mobile application dealing with information contents on mobile or handheld devices such as mobile communicator, PDA or WAP device face the most important industrial needs. The motivation of this study is the design and implementation of mobile application using high resolution satellite imagery, large-sized image data set. Although major advantages of mobile devices are portability and mobility to users, limited system resources such as small-sized memory, slow CPU, low power and small screen size are the main obstacles to developers who should handle a large volume of geo-based 3D model. Related to this, the previous works have been concentrated on GIS-based location awareness services on mobile; however, the mobile 3D terrain model, which aims at this study, with the source data of DEM (Digital Elevation Model) and high resolution satellite imagery is not considered yet, in the other mobile systems. The main functions of 3D graphic processing or pixel pipeline in this prototype are implemented with OpenGL|ES (Embedded System) standard API (Application Programming Interface) released by Khronos group. In the developing stage, experiments to investigate optimal operation environment and good performance are carried out: TIN-based vertex generation with regular elevation data, image tiling, and image-vertex texturing, text processing of Unicode type and ASCII type.

In this paper we describe a simulation and development framework for designing mobile 3D graphics architectures. We are developing a simple and flexible simulation and verification environment (SVE) that uses gITrace's ability to intercept and redirect an OpenGL/ES streams. In combination wlth gITrace to trace OpenGL/ES commands, the SVE simulates the behavior of mobile 3D graphics pipeline during playback of traces, and then produces the second geometry trace that can be used as a test vector for the Verilog/HDL RT-level model. By comparing the frame-by-frame results, we can conduct architectural verification. To demonstrate the functionality of the SVE, we show the implementation of the verified mobile 3D architecture on a FPGA board. For this, we also present an application development environment (ADE) includes a mobile graphics API and a device driver interface (DDI). The proposed two software environments, the SVE and the ADE could be used fer developing and testing mobile applications, architectural study and speculative hardware designs.

In this paper, two-stage pipelined floating-point multiplier (FP-MUL) is designed. The FP-MUL processor supports single precision multiplication for 3D graphic APIs, such as OpenGL and Direct3D and has area-efficient and low-latency architecture via saturated arithmetic, area-efficient sticky-bit generator, and flagged prefix adder. The FP-MUL has about 4-ns delay time under $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS standard cell library and consists of about 7,500 gates. Because its maximum performance is about 250 MFLOPS, it can be applicable to mobile 3D graphics application.
